after successfully getting the TinySID library running on a PIC32 [1]some time ago, I recently wondered, if the 16 bit MCUs from Microchipwould also be fast enough to run the code. It turned out, that theyare, at least the 40 MIPS models (PIC24H and dsPIC33F).

A big hurdle is the (compared to the PIC32MX) small RAM on thesechips. Since the SID tune must be loaded into RAM, only some smalltunes will fit into the 8 kB of the MCU used on the Web Platform [2] Ihad at hand.

However, the source code [3] and binary [4] are available from GoogleCode and a demonstration video [5] is on YouTube. The PWM output ison IO7, and IO8 is used to switch the tune when pulled to GND.

I love that old school sound!Need to get my PicKit so I can try that, i just love the 8 bit sounds, but I never had time to learn on how to make a micro-controller create then.I have a little question, is there any programm that can be used to create the soundtracks?
